Peering Policy
- Peering is the arrangement of traffic and routing information exchanged between Internet Service Providers.
- Peers are Internet Service Providers and Data Network Operators who hold a valid license.
- Peering Point is a place where the routing entries and the traffic is exchanged.
Public Peering is an arrangement where
ISPs are connected to a central point and exchange Internet traffic and
routing information according to a standard and general policy. Any consortium
of ISPs can form a public peering point. The policy and SOP related to
operate Public Peering Point must be a public document. Each Public peering
exchange may have independent set of policy and procedures.
Private Peering is an arrangement where
two ISPs are connected to each other and exchange Internet traffic and
routing information according to their own defined and agreed policies.
All Public Peering points will be required
to interconnect with each other. The circuit required for Interconnect
will be based on 50% split charges borne by the two public peering point
operating companies or consortium. Routing information of the interconnected
public peering points will be exchanged.
Role of PTCL:
- PTCL will arrange public peering for all circuits, which are connected to Pakistan Internet Exchange.
- All Customers who will have the full circuit IP based International circuit from PTCL will have the public peering facility available free of cost through that circuit.
- PTCL will provision a separate circuit based on separate tariff for the connectivity to the Public Peering Point based on PIE. This circuit will enable the customer to exchange traffic only on the National IP backbone with the participating ISP members on the PIE. Their will only be a single tariff will be based on the port speed:
- Local Link bandwidth ( DXX Charges Recurring )
- Hardware Cost ( One Time )
- Inter-city Link charges ( Recurring Fractional Charge )
- Operation & Maintenance Cost ( Recurring )
- PTCL will provide the leased circuit / media based on the applicable / available tariff to any two ISPs who wants to peer with each other privately. ( Only DXX charges applicable ).
- The link between the two ISPs can be provisioned with the help of a radio link provided by DNOP.
- PTCL will provide the leased circuit / media based on the applicable / available tariff to any ISP / DNOP who wants to peer with some other Public Peering Point not operated by PTCL.
- Any other operating public peering point can connect to any ISP / DNOP through radio link as well provided by DNOP.
- PTCL will arrange interconnection between all Public Peering Point based on available media. The interconnection charges will only be based on applicable / available tariff of the standard leased circuits.
- PTCL will exchange traffic with member Peer ISPs and International Bandwidth customers with the help of Static Routing and BGP.
- PTCL will have two separate Autonomous Systems Numbers to decipher between the International Link Customers who will be acting as transit peers and the national peer members.
